Hey everyone. Right now I’ve got a WP installation and a bbPress installation, each in their own directories. I also have a second WP installation in my root directory, with a custom template. I’d like to get the 5 or whatever most recent forum posts to display on the index page.
Anyone know how to accomplish this as painlessly as possible?
I am using WPMU 2.7 and bbpress 1.0- alpha. I cannot get cookie integration to work. any suggestions?
I am working on a project where I will use bbPress in a large corporate environment and styling it very differently then a standard forum. Sorry, I can’t show it to you because it is part of our Intranet. I have the front end layed out almost exactly as I want it and presented the prototype to our CIO. He likes the front end, but did not like the back end (admin) area.
The problem is that he manage forums page is not very intuitive to the non-technical person. Because we will have non-technical people managing the forums, I need to change how the manage forums page looks, without editing core code if possible. I will also be adding links in the front end to those people who have access to manage a given forum to edit the forum details.
This leads to the second part. Each forum is supposed to have a short intro, long intro and an associated photo. Are there any plugins that add fields and/or photos to a forum, or will I need to write that? I have searched here but haven’t found any yet. The less code I have to right the better, just need to know where to start this process.
Thanks.
Are you working for Automattic, Sam? Is it your job bbpress developing? I’m asking because of
We’ve decided to move on from bbPress to a more developed forum system. bbPress is good but lacks some features we need.
Hopefully bbPress will grow and in the future we’ll switch back, I really do like how easy you can customize bbPress and extend it with plugins…
Anyway, the questions: Will the old md5-insecurity plugin do the trick and change all passwords to regular md5 for easy conversion to new forum?
How do I force all users to drop their cookies and log in in order for all passwords to be renewed?
hi,
I’m running the latest WordPress MU version and also running the latest BBPress version on 1 MySQL Db.
I integrated wordpress via the wordpress integration setting from within bbpress, but now when I login as admin do to the imported users of wordpress, I cannot see a site admin link from within bbpress anymore to administer BBPress.
What shouldI do now?
Hello, would any of the more experienced folks on this forum please take a look at bbRating plugin https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-ratings/ and the problems we’ve come across lately. This plugin’s support seems to be discontinued so you’re are only chance. Any help/suggestions on behalf of all who asked would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!
I believe I have a simple but highly effective fix.
Since the vast majority of forum traffic is for non-logged in users AND, since the only time a forum page changes is if a POST is made … why not implement a very basic disk caching system that caches the content for the FrontPage and Topic page for non-logged in users.
Here is the pseudo code:
// Front page
if (not logged in)
…….. serve disk cache
…………….if (disk cache not present)
……………………generate page and save to disk
else (logged in user)
……..generate page (PHP)
// Topic page
if (not logged in)
……..serve disk cache
……..if (disk cache not present)
…………….generate page and save to disk
else (logged in user)
……..generate page (PHP)
// post a comment function
delete Topic cache for non-logged in users
delete Front page cache for non-logged in users
The benefit being, now for any non-logged in user – the Front page and individual Topic pages will be cached once some submits a new comment.
And if you are logged in, non of this effects you.
Thoughts?
Hi,
I’ve been using bbpress for a good month now and it’s served is purpose quite decently so far.
Yet there’s several occasions where I just wish the forum would put up a notice at the bottom of a post if anyone edited it. Now moderators (or just anyone) can edit a post without anyone knowing their post has been edited, making it look like they wrote it exactly that way, while a moderator could just as well have changed something.
A function that always puts up a notice at the bottom of the post when a post has been edited, by anyone, would allow me to:
1) Increase the time in which people can edit their post
2) Prevent conflicts because of changed content
3) Keep track of things that have been changed.
Very basic functionality, but quite essential for any forum, in my opinion.
Hi guys, for some reason my Roaccutane forum is not being indexed as thoroughly as my main wordpress site. To cut a long story short, some pages are being indexed but they are way down the rankings.
To try and rectify this I added a BBpress map and altered some keywords around 3 months ago – i’m also using permalinks, but still no luck.
Can anyone suggest any other tips to get more coverage to the forums?
Thanks
